4 Ways Religious Communities Can Ensure a Safe and Fair Election

This video from faith leaders explains four concrete, nonpartisan ways that religious communities can support the 2020 election.

Across the United States, religious communities are actively engaged in efforts to ensure a safe and fair 2020 election. Today, we are releasing this video of five prominent faith leaders discussing ways that religious communities can support the election in a nonpartisan manner. The video features writer and activist Simran Jeet Singh, Faith in Action deputy director Rev. Michael-Ray Matthews, National Council of Jewish Women CEO Sheila Katz, the New Georgia Project director of faith organizing Rev. Billy M. Honor, and the Unitarian Universalist Association organizing strategy director Rev. Ashley Horan.
